Theoretical framework to facilitate the research

For the hotel it is necessary to provide quality service as with the help of this they can ensure effective value to the customers. The provision of high quality services can ensure that customer satisfaction is high and for this they must implement the plan that they have formulated. But they are affected by the strategies of the business as the performance of the business is directly related with performance of the business. This can be understood with the help of the Generic strategy proposed by Porter (Jones and Comfort, 2016). With the help of this theory it can be analysed that on the basis of what aspect the organization can offer their services to their customers. Such aspects can be cost leadership, differentiation in the services and focus strategy. The hotel such as ibis hotel is emphasising on cost leadership strategy which enables them to provide customer services at affordable prices. But this has impact on their services and thus it leads to have impact on their objective of customer services with better service delivery. It occurs because the management focus upon reduction of cost to provide cost effective services as per their strategy which reduces the quality of their services offered to the customers. Whereas the impact of the strategies on the business are positive as well such as to minimise their overall cost they adopted different technology due to which they can provide quality services such as food in lesser time, easy check in and check outs with better information system etc (Majid and Qudratullah, 2019).

Findings 

What are the impacts of strategy on business for service delivery?

According to Thomas Ritter, it can be analysed that the strategy that the business has developed to achieve their objectives can have both positive impact as well as adverse impact on the delivery of the services. With the help of the organisational strategy the innovation in the services are planned so that they can manage the impact of competition and can manage the customers taste and preference (Soltanizadeh and Ismail, 2016). In the hospitality industry strategy enables to have network competence with which they can attract clients and all these enable them to offer better services to customers. But on the other hand the strategy may restrict the business to accept some changes in context of business environment and due to this the services can be influenced such as introduction of AI can be costly but may be demanded by the customers at some level.

What aspects of business that are affected by the strategy?

According to the viewpoint of Jared D. Harris, the business aspects that are influenced by the strategies so developed by the hospitality organisation are capabilities and competence along with the opportunities that are prevailing within the business environment. This is because of the fact that all the plan are formulated as per the strategy due to which the service delivery within hospitality industry gets influenced as according to the plan rates are regulated, inclusion in the packages will be identified, facilities will be provided to the customers. such aspects are crucial for the success of hotels and this can have both positive and adverse impact because if the strategy so adopted is flexible then the changes can be incorporated while if the strategy is rigid then it can make lead to customers dissatisfaction and even to human capital of the organisation as they will not be able to accomplish their objectives (Njoroge, 2019).

What are the trends within the industry?

According to Susan Jacobs, strategies so adopted by the business has to be formulated by analysing the trends which are prevailing within the industry as with the help of this they can ensure the survival of the business (Chen and Soileau, 2017). The demands of millennial keeps on changing and hotel industry has to accordingly manage the changes in context of dining experience, tech savvy services with reasonable prices, health conscious food menus, sustainability rules, efficient and friendly staff etc. All the trends can be adopted by the hotel with their flexible strategy as adoption of these trends are crucial to deliver better services.

Discussion

On the basis of the above analysis using secondary research it is identifies that the strategy plays crucial role in ensuring and delivering better services to the customers within the hotel industry. The impact has to be identified by the management of ibis hotel of their strategy on the trends and business aspects because with the help of they can identify the requirement of changes. This can be done by them through comparison between the benefits after adopting changes in the strategy and prior to it. In addition to this for ensuring better service delivery trends in context of taste and preferences as well as requirement of customers from the hotels must be analysed (Yuan, 2020). Further if the impact of the strategy on the operations of the organisation are adverse then the hotel must ensure necessary changes in strategy so that they can take competitive advantage over others as well as can make sure their survival and growth.

Conclusion 

It is concluded from the above report that the organisation must determine the impact of various strategies on their business operation so that its influence can be managed and if it has positive impact then it can be improved. For this the strategy that has been adopted by the organisation must be identified using various theories such as Porters generic theory as this enables them to determine the motive and direction of the organisation along with flexibility or rigidity within their strategies. With the help of this they can make necessary changes as per the requirement so that better service delivery in the hotels can be ensured to the customers.

Service excellences in hotels such as ibis can be achieved with the help of trained staff and better strategies along with system that has to comply all with all the norms that they have been instructed to follow (Kriyantono, 2019).

According to the viewpoint of Kanav Mata, the protocol and measurements must be identified by the hotel as per the interface and interaction with the customers as with this they get to know about their expectations and according to which various rules and system can be defined. Further to ensure delivery of the services the value system must be made instill by making priority of the employees with the help of significant training and instructions. In addition to this documents must be defined as per the service cycle of customers and as per the identified opportunities by the front line staff of the hotel as they have direct interaction with the guests.  

Organizational design needed for excellence

The excellence of organisation is dependent upon various pillars which has to consider while formulating their strategies and designing the structure for organisation. For ibis hotel, the management needs to determine the roles and responsibilities of the staff members as per their abilities and competence by taking into considering the pillars of service excellence (Dharamdass and Fernando, 2018).

The excellences within the ibis hotel can be achieved with the help of these three aspects i.e., structure of the organisation, roles and responsibilities of the employees and communication. In all the three aspects the employees plays crucial role as through structure they are offered various roles and responsibilities and with the help of effective communication they must ensure that the delivery of the customer services is improved. For achieving excellence by ibis hotel their emphasis must be on consistent training nd development of their employees as in their industry the satisfaction of the customers is directly dependent of the behavior and services of their employees.

  • They must put significant efforts to nurture, drive and support innovation so enforced within the hotel with better cultural workplace in order to make their employees to be engaged in providing service excellence.

The trend of aligning inside out and outside in thinking with operational excellence is prevailing in the hotel industry which emphasizes upon either engaging the customers point of view in the strategies of the organisation or considering internal processes of the organisation for better services to the customers. From customers point of view the customer’s digital and physical experience across devices, channels, brands, business unit etc. must be emphasized upon while from the perspective of internal processes of the company focus on efficiency, lowering defects, and improving quality is more than customers preferences.

The location, needs and wants of the customers, prices of the hotel services etc. are analyzed but they are can be managed efficiently with better customers review and service excellence (Lidgett, 2016). But with adoption of technology and innovation in hotel industry the complaints of the customers has reduced as their needs are considered while offering them the services. Further the conscious of the customers has been increasing due to which they provides rating to the hotel services for different services and according to this necessary changes can be made by ibis Hotel and with this service excellence can automatically be achieved.

Introduction

Quality control is considered to be the process with the help of which the business aim to ensure the quality of the product and service that they have been offering to their customers (Xiang and Fan, 2017). Within the hospitality industry quality control are treated as measures which the management has to match with to satisfy customer requirement. This report is based upon quality control system for ibis hotel in which various strategic principles are discussed which are crucial to implement a quality control system. Along with this quality control system for setting up a restaurant are identified on the basis of principles of service excellence.  

Research Aim: The aim of research is to identify the quality control system which enables the hospitality organisation to achieve their quality objectives and policies.

Findings 

The hotels have the responsibility of managing their activities with the help of well defined process with ensure quality in their services in a professional and efficient manner. Along with this the principles of services excellence must be considered because it makes them act proactively and process various improvements in the way they have been managing their guests (Knezevic and et. al., 2017). To support this various aspects are analysed for ibis hotel as with this they can ensure better quality control within their organisation.

Strategic principles to implement a quality control system

According to the viewpoint of Ayvazyan and Sayenko, international standard of organisation has developed various standards to ensure quality of the services in order to protect the interest of the consumer as well as to offer better services organisations point of view. As per ISO 9001 strategic principles that must be considered by the organisation includes customer focus with which present and future expectations and requirement of the customer can be satisfied; leadership which enables to manage the internal environment by involving all the participants inter services, factual approach to decision making; continuous improvement in context to adoption of technology, response to changing conditions, exploitation of new opportunities; system approach to management which enable coherent quality management system; process approach with the help of which performance is improved considering improvement in existing process; involvement of the people; and lastly mutually beneficial supplier relationship as it facilitate effective support and feedback. The organisation by complying with these standards for quality can efficiently accomplish their quality objectives (Ayvazyan, Parfenova and Sayenko, 2018).

Apart from this various quality management approaches are being used by the hospitality organisation which is discussed below:

Total quality management: TQM approach is based upon market orientation and is customer driven exercise upon involvement of all the participants to ensure quality of the services. Incorporation of TQM in service industry leads to emphasis on high level working intensity, high level personal contact with the guest; services to be offered to the guest are dependent upon their choice etc. This approach will enable the management of ibis Hotel to consider each and every aspect of service to the customer so that overall quality is improved. Also it will provide various measures on the basis of which the services will be compared with. This will facilitate management to implement continuous improvement in the services as per the requirement (Sadeh and Garkaz, 2019). 

Quality control system for setting up a restaurant on the basis of principle of service excellence  

According to Pascal, the organisation within the service industry must analyse the factors which the customers considers while utilising any service and to ensure effectiveness the management has to ensure incorporation of various principles of service excellence. The performance and quality services can be guided by the principles such as speed of responsiveness, accuracy in the service delivery, clarity and transparency in what has been delivered to the customers against order they placed. Further the accessibility, friendliness and efficiency are other service excellence principles with the help of which the services to the customers can be improved (Core Principles of Good Customer Service, 2018).

The setting up of the restaurant by ibis hotel within their premises must be planned in such a manner that all the principles of service excellence along with quality control system are considered. In the restaurant the ambiences and placement of the furniture must be accurately planned as this has direct impact on the speed of responsiveness while the system of ordering must be capable enough of achieving the accuracy, clarity and transparency such as placing of the orders by scanning the menu through QR codes as this will reduces the chances of human errors etc. Apart from this the supply chain, inventory management must be based on the techniques of total quality management, just-in-time approach and six sigma approaches as some of other way these system will ensure the unwanted steps in serving the customers are eliminated and the continuous improvement for reducing the timing as well as achieving accuracy is facilitated (Huang and et. al., 2019). Incorporation of the principles of service excellence and quality control system will facilitates procurement of the funds, identifying the location of the restaurant which can be accessible to the guest of the hotel as well as to the outsiders as well. In addition to this the significant level of training in context of technical knowledge for digital order placement, confirmation and payments using six sigma quality control approaches must be provided to the employees so that accuracy in the services can be achieved by them.  

According to article posted in Buiness- Pre-marketing, the success of the restaurant is based on the quality control systems. It is ongoing efforts which the manager of the restaurant has be consider as it is considered to be a way of controlling value which is gradually becoming an obligatory practice for the organisation with the aim to manage the competition and serving better quality. Now the focus of business such as restaurant is on the how to value your customers in every sense considering all the principles related to service excellence rather than analysing the output of restaurant (How to Improve Your Restaurant’s Quality Control, 2015).

Discussion

On the basis of the above findings it can be analysed that ibis hotel has to consider the quality control within their hotel so that they can ensure excellence within their service and offer better services and satisfaction to the customers.

The principle of service excellence along with integration of the system of quality control such as TQM, six sigma continuous improvements can be ensured. This will not only provide a better service to the customers but will also empower the people within their restaurant so that they become customer focus. Along with it has been analysed that by improving the customer services through service excellence principles while setting up the restaurant accuracy, efficiency in the services can be achieved. Apart from this the compliance with ISO with integrated system for quality control hotel ibis can take competitive advantage as this will provide them loyalty of the customers and ability to provide quality and competitive service.   

Conclusion

It is concluded from the above report that the organisation has to consider various aspects related to quality as it enables them to make their customers satisfy and ensure their loyalty. For this planning in context of various quality control methods and system along with principles of service excellences are to e considered along with strategic principles and standards so implied by ISO to ensure quality offerings.

Changes that customers help make

The changes which are made the companies and businesses are based upon the feedbacks and as per their level of expectations. Development of the relations with the customers is focussed by determining the needs and expectations of the customers. The business to make sure that they have significant customer based and loyal customers customer driven changes are to be made and especially in the hospitality sector all the changes which are planned are based upon changes in the perception of the customers. According to these changes the ways in which the services are offered to customers in hotel also changes but it has positive impact on the level of satisfaction of the customers because with the help of their desired need and expectation can be fulfilled (Kumar and Reinartz, 2016).

Role of customers in service delivery and design

As they articulate the solutions for their desires, communicate openly as what has been expected by them within specific prices, raises the issues with which their experiences gets affected etc. In addition to this they become the agent for the service delivery by contributing in identification of the changes in context of requirement of quality such as health care, education, personal fitness, and weight loss etc. Also they become the potential competitors as they have been supplying the services which were expected by them from the service providers due to internal change. All these aspects reflect that the businesses are highly influenced by the customers and they play significant role in designing the services (Role of customers in service delivery, 2010).

Aspects related to customer value from business, supplier and customers perspective

A customer perception is build on the basis of various aspects which are directly related to the services that has been offered to them. The customer values within hospitality industry especially in hotel are dependent upon aspects such as food, timely delivery of services, response to query and management of the issues faced by the customers etc. While from the perspective of the suppliers the customer services are dependent upon timely delivery of the materials from their end and from the perspective of the business the efficiency in satisfying the expectations of the customers as well as ensuring the quality of the offerings (Amoako, 2019)..
